hi, emma...  

aack!  i'm so sorry...  your comparison should be be && not ||.

that way, if they're BOTH equal to "", it will pop the user back.

Subject: Form Validation


I'm having a problem getting my form to validate on an else/if input area.
I have two input type="text" boxes that one or the other needs to be filled
in.  The form validates fine up until I get to the line where I have the
double text boxes and gives me this error: exception.Contract.value is not
an object after I have filled in data into one of the boxes, after I fill in
one of the text boxes it does not validate any of the remaining input
type="text" boxes below and shoots the mail merge.  Below I have listed the
line of JS validation I am using in the form.  Thanks for your help!

if(exception.Policy.value.length == "" || exception.Contract.value.length ==
"") {alert("Please fill in the Policy/Contract Number or Group ID");
exception.Policy.focus();return false;}
